Update 2014
Bred on a Danzig duplication and carrying a daughter of Mr. Prospector, All Too Hard should nick well with Mr. Prospector line broodmare sires such as HUSSONET, RHYTHM, WOODMAN, KINGMAMBO, STRAIGHT STRIKE, MACHIAVELLIAN, ELUSIVE QUALITY, UMATILLA, GEIGER COUNTER, BELLOTTO, EL MOXIE, JADE ROBBERY, JADE HUNTER, DISTORTED HUMOR, END SWEEP, INFLATE, VETTORI, THUNDER GULCH, FAPPIANO, SECRET SAVINGS, ELUSIVE QUALITY, ZAFONIC and his son XAAR.
All Too Hard’s sire Casino Prince has produced four Group winners to-date, two of which are out of STORM BIRD line mares (by GIANT’S CAUSEWAY and DOLPHIN STREET). Other sources of Storm Bird include TALE OF THE CAT, BLUEBIRD, FORESTRY, BLACK MINNALOUSHE, HENNESSY, JOHANNESBURG, STATUE OF LIBERTY, PURREALIST, SHAMARDAL, HIGH YIELD, VAN NISTELROOY and HENNY HUGHES, amongst others.
An outcross for All Too Hard is STAR KINGDOM, who has worked very effectively with Danzig and several other elements in his pedigree. Damsires such as MARSCAY, BLETCHINGLY, LUSKIN STAR and CANNY LAD in particular have had great success with this sire line.
HALO line broodmares are great candidates for mating with All Too Hard. A close relation to Northern Dancer (to which All Too Hard is strongly line bred) as well as Danehill, Halo can be sourced via DON’T SAY HALO, FUJI KISEKI, MORE THAN READY, IRGUN and SUNDAY SILENCE and their descendants.
All Too Hard carries Grand Chaudiere and a duplication of Never Bend, both tracing to SUNSHOT. This is also the family of Never Bend’s half brother BOLD REASON, who can be sourced via SOUND REASON.
Bold Reason is also damsire of SADLER’S WELLS, TATE GALLERY and FAIRY KING, so mares by ENCOSTA DE LAGO, STRAVINSKY, SPINNING WORLD (and son THORN PARK), GALILEO, HIGH CHAPARRAL, MONTJEU, SOVIET LAD (and son STARCRAFT), SCENIC, PEINTRE CELEBRE and CARNEGIE are suitable, amongst many others.
Carrying a daughter of SNIPPETS, broodmares by his sons such as PINS and SNIPPETSON create a sex balanced duplication. As Snippets is a son of EASY DATE, the family can also be reinforced by daughters of fellow family member NOT A SINGLE DOUBT.
All Too Hard’s grandsire Flying Spur is a descendant of FANFRELUCHE. This family has also produced ENCOSTA DE LAGO. Casino Prince has produced Group 3 winner SOOKIE out of an Encosta De Lago mare.
Broodmares by TWINING and LATARMISS reinforce the COURTLY DEE family represented by Green Desert in All Too Hard.
Mares carry sons of ancestors KENMARE (such as KELTRICE, KENDOR, KENVAIN, METAL STORM); VAIN (such as TRULY VAIN, SIR DAPPER, PROUD KNIGHT); and/or LAST TYCOON (such as BIGSTONE, MARJU, O’REILLY, IGLESIA, sire of WRITTEN TYCOON) create dynamic sex balanced duplications for All Too Hard.
